J.J. Hoover (RP, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: The Cincinnati Reds are blowing up their team and with that fallout comes opportunities for other players to become fantasy relevant. With the potential trade of Aroldis Chapman looming on the horizon, J.J. Hoover should be taking over the ninth in the Queen City.

Even including Hoover's disastrous 2014 campaign, Hoover sports a career 3.20 ERA and a 3:1 K/BB ratio. He relies heavily on a four-seam fastball that has movement and tops out at 93 MPH. He adds a slow moving curveball and occasionally sprinkles in sliders and changeups.

In leagues that count holds Hoover has already proven to be valuable, but in leagues that only count saves, now is the time to add him.

A key strategy at this time of year in the fantasy season is taking chances on guys that will benefit post trade deadline. The Reds have said they want to move Chapman's $8 million contract, which makes sense given their non-contender status. Hoover is the next guy in line and has proven that he can be the guy to close games for the Reds for now.
